"Huh! The heirs of Napoleon's family are really a problem for me...... Nephews too! Uncle too! ”

Nicholas I spoke leisurely, his tone did not fluctuate in any way, and he did not see any sign of anger, and it seemed that the Tsar had acquiesced to Jérôme. Bonaparte's proposal.

"Your Majesty, they have also created opportunities for us! If France does not have the will to annex the Rhineland, then our Russian Empire will be the target of public criticism. Since the European powers are unwilling to allow the Empire to take Constantinople under your leadership, we can only create a greater threat in exchange for the acquiescence of the British and other powers. ”

Cal. Nesser Rodie prides himself on his diplomatic strategy, counteracting one threat to the other in order to achieve a mutual compromise, a trick he learned from Prince Metternich.

In order to "repay" Prince Metternich for his teachings, Karl. Nescher Rodie deliberately concealed a part of the unfavorable situation on the Austrian side that had come from France.

[Refers to Felix. Deals between Schwarzenberg and the French Republic]

Over the years, he worked with Nicholas I to make Karl. Nesherro had the confidence to hide from Nicholas I.

The self-righteous emperor naturally smug himself into believing that he was the most loyal third hall would become his eyes and ears to serve her, but in fact the third hall had already become rotten, and countless false reports flooded the third hall so that the third hall had to destroy the reports by itself, and in order to avoid accountability, the third hall always fooled the tsar with "nothing happens today".

Of course, when Crown Prince Alexander was in the position of minister, he did not dare to be so foolish for fear of being discovered by Crown Prince Alexander.

Now that Crown Prince Alexander has left the royal village to enter the local army, the third hall can also fool the emperor with peace of mind.

[The Tsar's Office was a part directly under the Tsar's rule and had higher powers than other departments, the first department supervised the implementation of the tsar's orders, the second department codified the provisions of the law, the third department established the gendarmerie corps and was responsible for political review, the fourth department was responsible for charitable and educational institutions, the fifth department was responsible for improving the life of state-owned serfs, and the sixth department was a temporary institution responsible for drafting the administrative plan for Transcaucasia. 】

"Neschel Rodie, we are betraying!" Although Nicholas I was somewhat satisfied with Nesherro Die's plan, the principles of orthodoxy over the years always made him feel that he was betraying the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Majesty, the Empire will not directly let the Kingdom of Prussia hand over the land, and whether the French Republic can get it depends on them!" Cal. Nesherro swore to Nicholas I.

"I'll leave this matter to you!" Nicholas I vs. Karl. "However, I don't want to hear any negative news about the Russian Empire in this regard," warned! ”

"Of course!" Cal. Nischel Robidian immediately responded.

For Carl. According to Nesherro Die, it was the Austrian Empire that delivered the land, and whether the French Republic could obtain the land in the hands of the Austrian Empire depended on their ability.

"That's right! Hasn't the Austrian Foreign Minister come yet? "Nicholas I suddenly thought of the Austrian Foreign Minister Felix. Schwarzenberg seems to be visiting St. Petersburg in the near future.

Nicholas I's sudden inquiry made Karl. Nesherro was stunned for a few seconds, and he hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, not yet!" However, it should be almost there! ”

"When the time comes, you can go and meet him instead of me!" Nicholas I vs. Karl. Nisher Rodie said.

"Yes!" Cal. Nesherro was overjoyed that Nicholas I's decentralization had undoubtedly given him more room to mediate, and he could negotiate terms with the new goodbye minister.

"That's it! I am tired! You go back first! "Nicholas I rushed to Karl. Nesherro waved his hand.

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Carl. Nesherro once again bowed to Nicholas I and left.

Eyeing Carl. Nicholas I, who had left Nicholas I, returned to his study, and when his eyes were once again on the map on the desk, he subconsciously shook his head and muttered: "France! ”

……

On October 27, the temperature in St. Petersburg was a few degrees cooler than in the previous days, and the short autumn was fleeting.

The cold snap from the Arctic Circle swept through the streets of St. Petersburg, and the aristocrats and bourgeois, big (small), who were huddled around St. Petersburg, took off their autumn clothes and changed into cotton clothes to protect them from the cold winter, and every house closed its windows and doors and lit fireplaces.

On weekdays, the streets are bustling with people, only crowds of people and police patrolling from time to time.

In the middle of the night, you can see drunks with bottles of Romani in the alleys of deserted St. Petersburg.

Every year after October, St. Petersburg is home to a number of drunks who die of drunkenness and cold.

It was in such cold weather that a horse-drawn carriage with a double bridge slowly drove into the city from outside St. Petersburg.

If passers-by pay close attention, they will find the golden family emblem located on the side of the double-bridge carriage.

The carved double-headed eagle on the family coat of arms is exactly the same as that of the Romanrov family, and a group of cavalrymen is surrounded by a group of horsemen in the double-bridge carriage, who are uniformly dressed in cylindrical military caps made of black leather, red embroidered uniforms with three rows of gold breasts, which shine brightly in the sun, and black tight breeches on the lower body, with a saber at the waist. Judging from their attire, it is not difficult to see that they should be subordinate to the Russian Guards Hussars directly under the command of the Tsar.

This configuration was difficult for the average nobleman to imagine, and when the carriage entered St. Petersburg, passers-by stopped to watch, and it was speculated that the people sitting in the carriage were dukes and princes.

The carriage, escorted by cavalry troops, gradually came to a mansion owned by none other than the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, Karl Brown. Nesherro Die's St. Petersburg residence.

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and the captain of the cavalry in charge of escorting the carriage drove to the carriage and said to the guests in fluent French: "Your Excellency, your destination has arrived!" I'm going back to Prince Paskewicz! ”

"Hmm!" A neutral voice came from inside the carriage, and the cavalry captain and his cavalry departed.

The carriage slowly drove into Carl. At the mansion of Nesherro Die, the coachman who drove the carriage drove to the middle of the courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper and stopped.

"Your Excellency, please get out of the car!" The butler stationed outside the carriage said to the airtight carriage.

The carriage slowly opened, and Felix in a light blue military uniform sat down. Schwarzenberg appeared in front of everyone.

"Your Excellency!" The steward summoned all the people in the mansion to pay their due respect to the duke/prince of Austria who had come from afar.

Felix. Schwarzenberg's expression did not change in the slightest, as if all this was taken for granted to him: "Where is Count Karl now?" 【Carl. Nessel Rodie was made Count of Nicholas I, Felix. Schwarzenberg as a gesture of closeness]"

"Our master is still in Tsarskoye and may not be able to meet the prince until late! Your Excellency, please follow me! The butler still said politely to the foreign visitor.

Felix. Schwarzenberg bowed slightly, and under the leadership of the butler, Felix. Schwarzenberg came to Karl. The room that Nesherro had prepared for him.

"In the next few days, please bear with me, Your Excellency the Duke!" Housekeeper vs. Felix. Schwarzenberg said.

"I didn't come here to enjoy it!" Felix. Schwarzenberg responded.

In the afternoon of the same day, Felix was picked up. Schwarzenberg arrives at Karl. Nesherro returned to the mansion with Felix. Schwarzenberg meets.

Valley/span "Your Excellency, welcome to St. Petersburg!" "Carl. Nesher Rodie, as usual, against Felix. Schwarzenberg Road.

"Mr. Earl, this is the letter that the Prince asked me to pass on to you!" Felix. Schwarzenberg handed a letter to Karl. Nesherro Die.

Cal. A flash of surprise flashed in Neschel Rodie's eyes, he didn't expect the new foreign secretary to "have a good relationship" with the old-timers so quickly, and he didn't seem to be worried that the old-timers would take away his position.

It's good to be young!

Looking at Felix in front of him. Schwarzenberg, Karl. Nisher Rodie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he had been twenty years younger, his foreign policy would have been very different from what it is now.

Cal. Nesherro glanced at the letter that Prince Metternich had written to him, in which he described his friendship with him, and also expressed his gratitude to Karl Metternich. Nesherro Die's official introduction to Felix. Schwarzenberg.

At the end of the letter, Prince Metternich hoped that the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire would continue to maintain friendship.

After reading the letter of Carl. Nesherro handed the newly folded to the minions, then invited Felix. Schwarzenberg sat down to speak.

The fireplace is lit and the heating fills the room.

Immediately after, a servant brought pastries, coffee, and rum.

Cal. Nesherro first asked Felix. Whether Schwarzenberg wants to drink or not, after getting the other party's refusal, Karl. Nesherro drank and pecked.

A slightly cloudy rum was poured into the glass, and Carl. After taking a sip of rum, Nesherro said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, I know the purpose of your visit this time! You're here for the war with Prussia! ”

"That's right! We want the permission of the Russian Empire! The actions of the Kingdom of Prussia have seriously endangered the interests of the Austrian Empire! This is nothing short of a breach of orthodox principles! "Felix. Schwarzenberg righteously addressed Karl. Nesherro Dieu appealed.

"So what is the proposal between your country and the French Republic? Is this also for the sake of orthodoxy? ”

Cal. Nesherro Rodie still looked at Felix with a smile. Schwarzenberg, this smile Felix had a shuddering feeling.

How the hell did he know that? Who exactly told him!

Felix. Schwarzenberg did not have Inkar. Nesher Rodie's question was terrified, he was just curious about who had leaked the secret.

"Mr. Earl, who told you this?" Felix. Schwarzenberg asked in a solemn tone.

"You don't have to worry about this!" Cal. Of course, Nesherro will not tell him the truth: "I just want to know how you should solve these problems!" ”

"Mr. Earl, I don't think I need to explain!" Felix. Schwarzenberg spread his hands and calmly said to Karl. Nesherro said.

"You have ruined the order of the whole of Europe!" Cal. Nischel Rodie spoke.

"Nope! We are forging a new order! "Felix. Schwarzenberg also retorted: "The old balance of power on the continent has been destroyed, and we should forge a new balance of power." ”

"You mean that the balance of power is for France to get the Rhineland?" Cal. Nesherro vs Felix. Schwarzenberg Road.

"It's just a corner of Sal!" Felix. Schwarzenberg vs. Karl. Nisher Rodie responded.

"You are fueling the ambitions of France!" Cal. Nesherro "accuses" Felix. Schwarzenberg.

"Ambition? Mr. Count Carr, every country has ambitions, and should we prevent the ambitions of a very small number of countries from abandoning their interests? The situation that Prince Metternich painstakingly managed had failed after just over thirty years, and long-term suppression was never the solution! "Felix. Schwarzenberg quibbled.

"So what do you want to do?" Cal. Nesherro wanted to hear what the young man in politics had to say.

"For a long time, the diplomacy of our European countries did not depend on ourselves, but on Britain! Behind every defeat is the figure of Britain, so I hope to be able to remember the power of France to work together to eliminate Britain! Then Russia, Austria and France united to make rules! As long as the three of us are united, the rest of the countries are not our opponents at all! ”

Schwarzenberg was ambitious about Karl. Nesherro described.

"Duke Felix, in the blueprint you described, I don't seem to see the location of the Russian Empire! Do you want to exclude the Russian Empire from the system? "Carl. Nesherro squinted his eyes to reveal a sly lineup against Felix. Schwarzenberg said.

In Felix. Schwarzenberg did not have this in mind, the Russian Empire was too much of a threat to the Habsburgs.

However, now he still needs the Russian Empire, of course, which will not make the Russian Empire disgusted.

"How is that possible!" Schwarzenberg shook his head at Karl. Nisher Rodie responded.

"So what if the Austrian Empire gets the German leadership, the French Republic gets part of the Rhineland's compensation, and the Russian Empire gets Constantinople?" Cal. Nesherro squinted and said his plan to divide it.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, this is so unfair to our country! Your country already has the Danube principalities! "Schwarzenberg protested against Karl. The "injustice" of Nesherro Die.

"What's fair?" Cal. Nesherrodi asked Schwarzenberg.

"Unless the Russian Empire supports the Austrian Empire in its claim to Graz County, its former territory!" Schwarzenberg vs. Karl. Nesherro said.

"This ......" Carl. Nesherro hesitated, he didn't know whether he should agree to Felix or not. Schwarzenberg.

"If the Russian Empire does not agree with Austria's proposal, then it will be difficult for Austria to create the Russian Empire!" Schwarzenberg didn't budge.

The stalemate between the two did not last long, and eventually Carl Murphy ended with Karl. Nesherro Die's concession ended.

The Russian Empire would support the Austrian Empire's claim to Graz if the Austrian Empire was able to defeat the Kingdom of Prussia.

After the Austrian Imperial War and the Kingdom of Prussia, it was necessary to fully guarantee the supply of the Russian Imperial Army in the Danube region.

After exchanging their terms, both sides acted with their own careful thoughts.
